first they have to deal with getting money to those victims of superstorm sandy. national flood insurance running out next week. congress needs to act so today they are expected to approve $9 billion for that to keep those checks flowing. a bigger package they'll look at later in the month. they'll also recount the electoral votes from november's election just as a formality. as you alluded to, the big fight is coming up over the debt ceiling. we're reaching our limit for borrowing again. likely sometime in february around the same time that those budget cuts and defense cuts that were put off kick in yet again. you're right. probably another fiscal cliff. another contentious one because this time republicans are hinting they don't want to talk about allowing america to borrow more until there is serious discussion about how much less we're going to spend. spending cuts are a big mantra here on capitol hill. president obama says he's all for them. republicans say it's not enough and here we go again. >> the arm wrestling continues. tracie potts, we know you'll con
